according to your spice level.

Step 2) Heat oil and once the oil is nice and hot add cinnamon
stick, cloves and dry red chilies and also add chopped
ginger and chopped garlic.Give it a stir and then add the chopped onions.Add some salt to speed up the
cooking process and we need to saute the onions until they are nice and
brown.Only then we will get that awesome color.

Now you can see the onions are nice and brown at this point add turmeric powder, Green chilies and the freshly
ground pepper mixture.Mix that in and after mixing add the chicken pieces.And mix it well with the onions.We need to roast them in medium
flame for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces.

Now look at the nice color on our chicken pieces.And as you

leaves. See how simple this recipe is,it just requires very few
